[HP] Butterfly Effect

After entering the tail of November, the snow at Hogwarts became heavier and heavier, covering the campus with a vast expanse of whiteness, covering up the various mottled colors of the conical spires.It has been almost five months since Aurora came to this magic school, and she still hasn't figured out all the structures and paths.The reason is because her sense of direction is really poor, and she doesn't like to go out very much. The various passages of the old castle are no different from a maze to her.

Fortunately, the fat monk remembered this little girl who was always lost, and could often find her back.After coming down a few times, Aurora got into the habit of going back the same way wherever she went.

On the contrary, the way to the Forbidden Forest is already very familiar, after all, Hagrid said that she could come to visit these magical animals anytime.Aurora wished he could make the rock cakes softer.

In addition to the Forbidden Forest, the way to Professor Snape's office is also a way she has been familiar with, because her performance in Potions class is too easy to be detained, so she became the new Slytherin house. Regular visitor to the Long Office.

As early as the first day of class, Snape said that the one who made the worst potion in each class would be detained.Except for the first few days when Aurora escaped because she was partnered with Beverly, the rest of the time was almost without exception the one who was left behind.

Strange to say, she never blows up the cauldron like Caroline, nor does she always remember the recipe wrong like Cecilia, but the quality of the brewed potion is just bad.Snape observed her many times in the later classes. With the same materials and steps, Beverly and Vaux could both make quite good finished products, but it was like being cursed in Aurora's hands.

In the end Snape defined her as having absolutely no talent for brewing potions, even though Aurora's headmaster was full of praise for her herbology.But the reality is like this, there is no one-win relationship between Herbology and Potions, on the contrary, you just have to pray that they don't fight each other, otherwise you will be like Aurora.

So far, the only "E" Aurora has ever gotten in Potions was for a dissertation assignment called Antidotes of Different Types.Pure theory, not mixed with any practical operation, the content is concise and substantial, without half a sentence of nonsense, and even added two full pages at the back about some things that were not mentioned in the first grade books, and some senior herbal medicine textbooks are only a few words. Exotic plants, for use in the field of simple antidotes.The title is, a little idea other than the thesis, not counted in the total word count.

Snape read her paper twice, and then left a comment on the parchment with bright red special dragon's blood ink:

"I imagine your Herbology teacher will be pleased to see that, but I should also be satisfied that you remember that this is a Potions treatise, don't you?"

Aurora received her homework in the Potions class three days later. She put a lot of effort into this paper, and she couldn't say she didn't expect the result at all, although she didn't have high expectations.So when she exhaled lightly, turned the thesis to the teacher's signature on the last page, and saw the thick and colorful "E", she was really stunned for a while.

There were only two people in the class who got an "O", both of them were undoubtedly from Slytherin, and one of them, even Aurora didn't have to guess, was Beverly, the top student in Potions class.

After repeatedly confirming that the "E" was not her hallucination, Aurora felt a lot more relaxed, and when she turned the next two pages, her movements became much lighter.Then, she saw the comments Snape left for herself, as well as various corrections and comments on the next two pages.

Even after another 100 years, the dragon's blood ink can still firmly freeze the color of the moment it falls off the paper, so the handwriting Aurora sees still has a very resilient and freshness.No one will doubt that this is a good handwriting, so beautiful that even if the written words are far from the character of gentleness, people can't help but want to read it several times.

The bright red font lingers on the page like fire. The stroke at the end of the last letter of each word must be a sharp upward stroke, which happens to be the space between words, while the rest of the letters are vigorous, smooth and coherent.It perfectly combines the two originally opposite characteristics of forbearance and sharpness.

The parchment had no horizontal lines, but Snape's handwriting was always written on straight lines.

This person is either obsessive-compulsive disorder and a master handwriting engraver, or he is rigorous, stubborn, deep and arrogant.

Aurora put the papers together and put them back on the table. She felt that she seemed to be labeling Snape too easily, just because of some subtle habits and places.It was as if she had known this person a long time ago and was very familiar with him. Even if time had buried all the memories and traces, as long as the person and she hadn't changed, she could easily recognize and understand him.

Thinking of this, Aurora threw all the materials in front of her into the unheated crucible, and thick smoke evaporated.She hid in the smoke and put away all the messy thoughts in her mind, and heard Snape's voice asking her to stay after class without any surprise.

Since returning from the Forbidden Forest last time, she has been following Aurora's Bowtruckle—the tea roll, and was so smoked that she jumped out of her pocket and kept coughing.Aurora pressed the tea roll back into her pocket calmly: "Yes, Professor."

However, according to Aurora's guess, Snape would not really let her stay in jail, but would let her follow him to the Forbidden Forest to search for various potion materials, commonly known as "doing the work".Otherwise, according to the performance of this freshmen and Snape's strictness, Hufflepuff will never be able to recover.

When was the last time a Hufflepuff lifted the House Cup, although even Headmaster Sprout couldn't remember.

In fact, for Snape, choosing this little girl and this way was completely accidental.The Ministry of Magic, as always, likes to come to do so-called surprise inspections. In addition to dealing with the horrible test papers and homework exams of the little trolls and the endless lesson plans, there is also the upcoming Quidditch Cup and Academy Cup, as well as the Ministry of Magic. Become like the rain in England, you never know when it will come, but you know it will come with a routine inquiry.

Finally, there is the brewing of potions for the school hospital as a contribution.

It was entirely Dumbledore's idea.Snape gave a headache just thinking about it.In all fairness, although he is grateful to the headmaster who is known as the greatest white wizard, but this does not prevent him from hating this old guy at all.Compared with Voldemort, Dumbledore will not be easy to deal with.

Therefore, he can only find ways to compress the time as much as possible in all these things, and Aurora is a good choice.Because of her talent of being able to get close to many magical animals easily, it always saves a lot of time when going to the Forbidden Forest with her to find potion ingredients.Snape didn't even have to prepare other messy things to distract the animals, and sometimes if the animal was gentle enough, he could get what he was looking for just by standing.

But you can't count on her to brew the potion, and it's good to handle the materials, Aurora asked for it herself.So when encountering some very basic potions that were in great demand, Snape would let Sur Garcia and Beverly, the senior Slytherins, cooperate to deal with them, and other more complicated potions would be handled by himself.After going back and forth, Sur and Aurora became acquainted.

When choosing these few people, Snape still went through a lot of consideration.Beverly is very talented, Sur is very efficient, and both of them are Slytherins.As for Aurora, she has a gentle and meticulous personality, and unless she encounters a problem, she will not easily speak up to disturb Snape's work, and even when there are a lot of materials to be processed, the quality will not decline.

Sometimes Snape would forget that there was another person in his office, and the two of them might stay in the office all afternoon, saying only a few words:

"Hi Professor, I'm here."

"The materials are over there."

"Ok."

And finally:

"Professor, everything has been taken care of."

"you can go now."

"Goodbye."

There is hardly any other dialogue beyond that.

So for the whole semester, Hufflepuff's scores changed very strangely, increasing and decreasing, up and down, like a tug-of-war, and finally only increased by a little.Caroline sometimes wondered if Aurora had offended the young and stern potions professor, otherwise why would she be so painfully ups and downs between bonus points and deductions.

Aurora didn't take it seriously, and she advised Caroline not to ask about it anymore, after all, it was not easy to get extra points from Professor Snape.Most of the time, they have to rely on the kindness and kindness of their dean to support half the sky. It is a pity that their dean is very generous to the students of any college.

Unlike Hufflepuff College's attitude of "everything is as it pleases, it's good to add it", the topic of Slytherin who also attended the class together was much more lively.Almost all the first-year Slytherins knew about this Hufflepuff who was "as easy as this house to gain points and faster to lose points like the Lion House" in the hands of his headmaster.

In fact, Aurora just guessed Snape's mood easily from some casual habits, so it was not easy to offend him, and she really didn't have any shrewd ways to brew potions.

Towards the end of the first semester, a little game called collecting chocolate frog cards quietly spread among the first grade.Aurora doesn't like chocolate any more than she likes sugar, and Tea Roll doesn't eat anything but fairy eggs and wood turtles.Compared with these small snacks, the tea roll prefers to stay on top of Aurora's head.

Of course, it has found its new hobby recently, which is to fight with the black cat Brett, and whoever wins can occupy Aurora's pillow and quilt.Vaux also joked that this is a battle for court favor.

But even if she doesn't like chocolate, Aurora is quite obsessed with finding a Dumbledore card.Fortunately, Caroline, who lives in the same room, has a sweet tooth. More than half of Aurora's chocolate frogs went into her stomach.It's a pity that Aurora still failed to collect a single Dumbledore's card.

Vox had been wondering why she wanted a Dumbledore's card so much, and Aurora told him it was for her final Potions exam, with all seriousness.

"You want Dumbledore to help you take the exam?" Vox widened his golden brown eyes, his face full of disbelief, "Then you are in the wrong direction, you should use the automatic answering pen." After finishing speaking, he pointed at his mouth I dropped a Bibi multi-flavored bean, "I've been researching how it works recently. But it's not for cheating, but I'm very interested in this fully automatic thing."

"No, but it's okay." Aurora wrapped the yellow and black scarf around her neck thicker, and kept rubbing her hands, "I want a card from the headmaster to pray for blessings, and wish that my final potions class will not be over." Hang up."

Vaux was stunned.

He imagined Aurora's card to Dumbledore, imitating the way those orientals offered incense, which was weirdly funny.

After a while, the brown-haired boy seriously pointed out the other party's mistake: "Then you should use Professor Snape's card to pray."

Aurora shook her head, "He's too unkind, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a wish to his card."

Vox was dumbfounded, and then felt that what the other party said was very reasonable.

Three days later, Vox visited Aurora in the Hufflepuff common room and handed her a card from Dumbledore.The old headmaster with silver hair and shining blue eyes is teasing a phoenix covered in fiery red.

Vocks said: "We helped you eat out of a dormitory, and they asked me to pass on my sympathy and empathy for you by the way."

When Aurora took the card, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I think I might become famous in Gryffindor."

"That's not true, but I think everyone in our dormitory knows you."

It was another heavy snowfall, and the day of the Quidditch Cup had quietly arrived.

Each school selected a few students from the school as volunteers, who stood at the designated positions and waited to rescue the wounded at any time.Human sports on the ground are often unavoidable for athletes to be injured, not to mention Quidditch, which is played in the air.

Aurora was paired with Caroline, and Vox was paired with Beverly.

The sky began to snow again sporadically. Mrs. Huo Qi walked to the field wearing a referee uniform and holding a broom.

The author has something to say:

The new character, Sur Garcia, is the source of the character design provider Eddie [Sur].

The professor's character is too difficult to grasp, I really can only say that I will do my best to restore the character of this character, and add a little bit of my own thoughts and guesses appropriately.

So this article is slowly progressing like a grandfather singing a song, and I am also very slow in typing, because I always want the characters not to collapse. Personally speaking, it is quite painful.

So I must ensure that my manuscript must be more than ten chapters, and I can correct it in time if there are any problems.

good night.
